Event Details

Book now for SketchBetter's popular after-school Art Club for children, led by Designer and Positive Psychology Coach, Kate Andrews.

This course takes children on an introductory journey through the nature of creativity and human imagination. There are experiments, collaborations, projects and mindfulness. We learn about artists, art movements and the broad range of possibilities art offers us. Children learn craft skills including observational drawing and watercolour painting, aswell as social and emotional development skills such as empowerment, teamwork and resillience.

Each weekly class starts and ends with a mindful activity and includes group and individual elements. Children are each given their very own sketchbook and art bag, and are encouraged to bring them each week for feedback - introducing them to self-directed study.

Children are asked to wear "art outfits" so they can experiment freely without fear of getting messy. Please note this art club is for 5-10 year old beginner artists. We expect these children to beable to be independent in classes and do not advise 4 year olds to join us just yet.

Please note there is no art club during half term on 26 October 2017.
